?Chapter 1096:


    His kiss was forceful andmanding, overwhelming her as if he intended to consume her entirely.


    “Mmm… Don’t!” Aurora pushed him back. “What are you doing?”


    Dunn advanced, pinning her against the wall. “You think I don’t possess any jealousy? You have no idea what it’s like to see you visit the hospital every day.”


    Aurora, taken aback, eximed, “What did you just say?”


    Dunn, catching his breath, loosened his tie, grasped her chin, and kissed her deeply.


    The kiss weakened her knees, and she found herself both drawn to and frightened by this intense side of Dunn.


    The kiss slightly calmed the frustration brewing within Dunn. He took Aurora’s hand, weaving their fingers together, his eyes locked on her face.


    “Aurora, I’m sorry. I can’t always be theposed one.” He nibbled her earlobe. “I was losing my mind hearing you cry over him.”


    Aurora swallowed hard, finally understanding why Dunn had been so distant when he answered the phone earlier. “How did you know I was crying over him?”


    Dunn held her face gently between his hands, his forehead pressed against hers.


    “I’ve been here for a while, orchestrating Emma’s conversation with you. I’m aware of everything you’ve done thesest few days. Seeing you deceived pained me, yet I also wanted to reprimand you for it, because I’m overwhelmed with jealousy.”


    After saying thest three words, he dropped his hands sadly. Aurora’s heart ached, and she quickly hugged him.


    Aurora was filled with regret.


    She found it hard to believe she had fallen for Rickey’s deceit and questioned Dunn’s affection for her.

    “I’m sorry.” She apologized, cradling Dunn’s face gently, as if to repair his wounded spirit. “I’m really sorry. I got it all wrong! Please, don’t be upset with me, okay?”


    Dunn looked at her, holding back the desire to kiss her. “When are you nning to leave?”


    Aurora took a deep breath, realizing there was no reason for her to feel torn or sentimental any longer.


    Rickey was alright, and she had rified everything.


    For her, it was now crucial to embrace happiness when it presented itself, to cling to Dunn.


    “Immediately! We’ll leave as soon as we get the tickets!” she replied.


    “Currently, there are no avable tickets. A severe storm is approaching, and they’re likely to close the airport.”


    “That’s fine. We’ll wait it out together.” Aurora embraced him, seeking sce and intimacy. With the misunderstandings resolved, she felt a great sense of relief. “Dunn, I won’t leave you again.”


    Dunn’s hands settled on her waist. “I know.” Silence fell between them.


    The room seemed to grow increasingly warm, Aurora’s bashfulness intensifying in the charged silence. “I should go and book my room now.”


    Just as Aurora turned to leave, Dunn pressed her against the wall once more.


    She hadn’t noticed when it happened, but now her hand was firmly sped in his.
